After class, I decided to look at his other works and I was most impressed by Dog Star Man. Over imposing images of nature and moon and volcanic eruption and changing the colors of the imagery created an apocalyptic image in my head and the movie started to look more like a horror movie with the sound effects used.
His editing techniques allowed him to layer and de-color his footage. His imagery follows an unpredictable rhythm that captures your attention and when viewed in a dark environment can draw you into the vivid colors and motion of the patterns. I only wished that Dante's Quartet had some sounds which would have made me follow the sequence a little better. Black Ice did not really require any audio for I found it had a stronger sense of depth to it.
His efforts in bringing such diverse imagery should be celebrated. Specially without use of Final Cut Pro, After Effects and other editing tools we take for granted.
